12/7 NOTE: There's a password needed to get into the party without a cover charge, as they're also having a band-a-thon today too, and that password is "fark".

Heeeeee's back! Come join us as we toast life, liberty, and the pursuit of beer with Mr. and Mrs. vincent_blackshadow on Saturday 12/7 at the best damn Pirate bar in all of Los Angeles, The Redwood (site of many a Fark party of yore).

Co-hosted by: E-Brake, make me some tea, and the man of the hour himself, vincent_blackshadow.

Party starts at 6pm; a couple few hours later there be bands makin' landfall with ye olde cover charge so don't tarry, me buckos.

Ye can find us in the booths at the forefront, sportin' silly nametags and toastin' heartily t' continued good health and makin' piratey noises like "AHOY SCALLYWAGS", "AVAST" and "MCAFEE". The Redwood be havin' the hearty grog and grub, so come splice the mainbrace with ye Fark maties. Feel free t' wear yer best Pirate gear!

For ye public transit needs, check out losangeles.hopstop.com; the Metrolink trains stop at Union Station, and the Metro station at Temple and Hill is named Civic Center/Grand Park (thanks cyberspacedout!). For ye Designated Drivers, we be coordinatin' rides and parkin' here.

Ahoy-hoy! We have a Designated Driver comin' from the Thousand Oaks/Westlake Village area of Ventura County (thar be dragons!); landlubbers in ye 805/818 vicinity be welcome aboard. Also we have a Designated Driver coming from Santa Monica, yaarrrrr. Post here or email me for info at handle, ultrafark.

10/18: Please see my post below with info about The Omni Hotel Downtown Los Angeles room block for the "Fark Group"! Supplies are limited, operators are standing by at 800-THE-OMNI (843-6664). The reduced rate for 12/7 and up to 3 days before/after will be $179/night with extra perks for our group. The rate is available for booking through Friday, November 15th or until all rooms are booked within the block, whichever comes first.

In addition, there's The Kawada around the corner from party central which looks to be cheaper, and a few other hotels within a few blocks too. Since it's downtown LA keep in mind cab fare to & from the party if the hotel you end booking is more than a few blocks away from The Redwood.

Welcome back, VBS! I really wish I could make it, but I'm stuck here. Final Exams are on 12/6. I could drive down, but it would take a very convincing argument from other Seattle, Portland, and/or SF farkers who need a ride to talk me into it.

(E-Brake, for some reason, I thought you had moved to NYC. Did I dream that? If not, welcome back to the good side of the continent.)

Ohh I could do that! I think the establishment would probably frown on a sword though.

Ahhhhhh, no swords or cannons or trebuchets, please. This is a respectable Pirate bar!

DOOO EEEEEET. Let's talk to people and make this happen. it's been far too long!

Yep we're relocating, and throwing my buddy a party now that he's up and at 'em is our pleasure. VB and I first met at the huge '07 LA party I helped toss with timujin and moonagedaydreamer, and after that he and I conspired to throw many get-togethers all around LA. I miss my people there a bunch.
